Bob Schoelkopf — the founding director of Marine Mammal Stranding Center, an animal hospital in New Jersey that responds to distressed animals — said the whale was so decomposed that nothing could be done with it. The creature was missing a head and mostly eaten away, so determining the cause of death was impossible, Schoelkopf said.
